Nine lessons for Sustainable Innovators


* Integrating sustainability into innovation processes takes time
* Sustainable Innovation (SI) needs a business focus
* SI requires organisational design e.g. systems, structures and rewards
* Creativity is essential
* Raising internal awareness of SI is important
* Making SI happen requires resilient internal change-makers/catalysts
* SI oriented intrapreneurship approaches are starting to emerge
* Moving to higher levels of SI may move companies out of their 'comfort zones'
* 'Open' SI new business models are still in the early stages of development
